The principle of “free and independent states” in the Constitution has long influenced how Californians balance local authority with a shared responsibility to preserve the places and stories that define our communities. In 1972, that balance took tangible form when California State Senator James R. Mills authored legislation that would become one of the state’s most significant historic-preservation tools: the Mills Act. Learn about how the Mills Act was born in Coronado and its lasting legacy five decades later, in CHA's exhibit "Moments that Made U.S."!
